Mary asks:
“I just made your hard lotion and lip balms from the DIY kit. They turned out great but how to you recommend cleaning the pyrex cup used for melting and cleaning the dropper? Thank you.”
My answer:
“With the Pyrex, while it’s still hot (or put it back in the double boiler to get it really hot) wipe out residue with a paper towel and then clean with very hot, soapy water. The dropper is more tricky; you can try to squeeze out as much melted oil as you can while it’s still melted, then wipe out with a paper towel and then clean with hot soapy water (squeezing in and out with the hot, soapy water). After a few uses, it becomes difficult to use again, so you could just try to dry-remove as much as you can and then keep it wrapped until the next use. If it’s a project you plan to do often, I would invest in Pyrex used just for lotion-making.”
